National Journeys Towards Education for Sustainable Development: UNESCO DESD Publication 

 
The UNESCO publication National Journeys Towards Education for Sustainable Development aims at documenting the way societies use learning and education to address the sustainability challenges of our time. It gives concrete examples and entry points for progressing education and learning for sustainable development (ESD) across the sectors.

The text is edited by Ingrid Mulà and Daniella Tilbury, from the International Research Institute in Sustainability (IRIS), University of Gloucestershire (UK). It showcases national developments from each of the five UNESCO world regions including case studies from: Chile, Indonesia, Kenya, the Netherlands and Oman. It presents how these countries have introduced ESD according to their environmental context, their national history and their own sustainability challenges. 

The document was commissioned by the UNESCO Paris as a contribution to the UN Decade in Education for Sustainable Development.
